Las Vegas
YESCO
The BoneyardYoung Electric Sign Company (YESCO) is the oldest and
largest producer of electric signs in
Las Vegas,
Nevada. Along
with competitors Ad-Art, Inc., FederalSign, Heath and Co. and Sign Systems Inc.,
YESCO has designed and produced many of the neon,
incandescent, fluorescent and, more recently, digital signs which have helped
define the
Las Vegas Strip.
Some of YESCO's most prominent designers have included:
-
Charles Barnard - designer of Vegas Vickie
-
Rudy Christomo - designer of the Rio's column
-
Dan Edwards - designer of Lucky the Clown of
Circus Circus
-
Jack Larsen Sr - designer of the
Silver Slipper
-
Kermit Wayne - designer of the
Stardust signage
Until recently, YESCO maintained a storage yard of retired signs known as the
Boneyard.
The Boneyard was not open to the public, but the company has been instrumental
in supporting the
Neon Museum, which is dedicated to preserving the neon signs and associated
artifacts of Las Vegas. The Neon Museum has now moved many of the signs from
YESCO's lot to a new storage facilty at the corner of McWilliams and Encanto
Drives, where they are awaiting restoration.
YESCO's Boneyard has been used in numerous movies, television shows and music
videos.
